Ora King shanks - tail part, tastes similar as belly. Big glory bay king salmon - liked this a bit more as sashimi than Ora. Copper river sockeye salmon - pan fried with a hint of salt, was very tasty naturally. Loch duart salmon - similar as above, not dry at all, very juicy tender esp for wild.

Anchor Oyster Bar will likely have a wait all day, most times of day. However, there are lots of shops to stop into nearby where you can still call your name if called.  The reason to stop in? Their cioppino. A hearty, tomato-based seafood stew chocked full of fresh bay seafood like mussels, clams, crab, shrimp, and white fish. It's served hot and with a side of garlic bread. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side or two of garlic bread to sop up all of that delicious soup. We also got the seafood platter to try a variety of oysters and their shrimp cocktail, which were all delicious. Steamed claims in garlic butter was an obvious order. No regrets. Highly recommended for a good, hearty, true San Francisco lunch.

Everybody, servers and cooks, were incredibly helpful and answered all my questions with a smile. I figured if I'm going to an oyster bar, I better try the oysters. I had six meaty, juicy oysters ($22.50) from three different regions. It was fun to compare them from each other. My girlfriend ordered the penne pasta with prawns topped with rich red sauce and melted cheese ($33). It was absolutely delicious and rivals many local Italian restaurants. I also ordered the crab burger and clam chowder ($36). The clam chowder was hot, creamy and not too salty. The burger came with a good amount of crab. It looked like imitation crab, but it wasn't, it was much bolder and heartier. I'd come back here whether for a date night or a solo evening slurping oysters at the bar. The food is pricey, but if you're into quality seafood options beyond fish, I'd definitely recommend it.

Around the downtown area, it sits in it's own restaurant section amongst the busy streets. Regardless of it being busy, a lot of the establishments around are a quick grab and go. Just like Basa Seafood, which means parking isn't an issue! ‍‍ The establishment looks Asian family run and neatly organized. When asking for suggestions or even recommendations amongst the mid size menu, the great cravings and great seafood is well within reach and can't go wrong Affordable reach, I should also mention. While poke isn't cheap, the restaurant provides great portions and doesn't slack on the rice or even the sauce to make the poke amazing! Amazing isn't even an understatement at this point especially too! We got our lucky hands on two things. The spicy salmon can be summed in two words; spicy and light. Thankfully, those words go hand in hand. While the spiciness doesn't overpower the salmon, the salmon itself has such a light and natural taste. Paired with green onions and rice, it makes any poke lover recognize each little taste pallete that it has to offer. Secondly, the fried calamari we had a chance of trying also came with a spicy mayo sauce. The calamari itself? Fried to perfection, still crispy when you bite into itself and together with the sauce, it makes for a perfect savory snack!

He always suggests we stop in and I say, "Nah, I think they're closed." Almost noon, this time we stopped, I popped my head in to find it empty but open. It looked clean, and so hey how bad can it be? Fun eclectic atmosphere, our waiter called me "Madam" and presented us with menus followed by complementary hot clam juice. A good sign for baby-boomers, the menu was a mix of traditional large-portioned seafood and creative dishes, cocktails and craft beers. Nicely done! Aioli sauce (an easy ask,) Victor (our waiter, white shirt-bow tie, bought El Hubbo a super Sea-wich (sandwich tempura crusted fish filet with spicy fire roasted pepper aioli) and I had...you guessed it, Fish and Chips. Three pieces, a mountain of chips light and tasty. No long lines, excellent service, a very good eating experience, one that we'll put on our "do-agains." The clientele is a generational mix, the old oak bar - a serious one. Very date-worthy, millennials and young families might give it a try as the walls are filled with distractions. That means if your date is destined to fail, at least you'll have something to look at. And don't be freaked out at lunch by the empty "set" tables adjacent the windows. I guess that's an add-on set up for show. One last bonus: It's quite near SCRAP so if your a wanna-be artist, and that date's a hit, SCRAP is a must.

It is not simply a dining venue; it is a living institution that preserves the culinary and hospitality traditions of historic San Francisco. From the moment guests walk through its doors, they are immersed in a setting that reflects authenticity and heritage. The warm wooden interiors, historic photographs, and maritime character create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and timeless. The cuisine honors classic Italian foundations with a strong coastal influence. Signature dishes such as the cioppino and house-made pastas demonstrate a commitment to flavor, consistency, and tradition. Each plate reflects generations of refinement; balanced, honest, and deeply rooted in culinary heritage. Equally remarkable is the service. The staff exemplifies professional hospitality; attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. Every routine is executed with discipline, every interaction handled with care. It is clear that service here is not incidental; it is intentional and refined. The Old Clam House is more than a restaurant; it is a landmark of culinary continuity. It is the type of establishment that invites return visits not out of novelty, but out of respect for quality and tradition. A place worth experiencing at least twice a year--because some institutions are not merely visited; they are honored by returning.

Meal planning before Good Friday can be a challenge. Seeing people enjoy foods with meat becomes…read morevery tempting during the Holy Week . I did find a place where no meat would be available in SF . Once I started thinking of this place I started to map out hella meal possibilities with me creating dishes like San Francisco's native dish Cioppino and also making some salmon dishes along with some okay shrimp dishes like fried shrimp, skewer shrimps on the barbie, and scallop ceviche. The real feast on Good Friday would be getting the Dungeness Crab paired with some garlic noodles . This place has been a Mission District seafood institution and it's called Sun Fat Seafood company ( a former employee started Basa Seafood Express on 24th street). On a Spring stroll on Mission street between 22nd and 23rd streets I went inside a fresh seafood market. Inside you will see live lobsters in a tank. You will also see Dungeness Crab during crab season and also find of variety of fresh oysters selection along with scallops. You will also see sushi rolls when available along with different types of fishes. This place was the solution I was looking for to replace meat cravings and replace with seafood during Good Friday feast. This is definitely the place if you like it crustaceans and fish cooked or raw in SF. Inside Sun Fat Seafood you find some raw fish "fillet" to make your meal for " Good Friday" as some will "pray" and enjoy the fresh catch of seafood in San Francisco city by the "Bay" It's almost Good Friday so I feel "bless "I am alive and remembering those who passed away in peace may they "rest" I walk the streets of the Mission I "reminisce" and honor them on Good Friday feast as I eat some crab that's "Dungeness"
